The recording sounds good, and these guys are fun to listen to when your crusin' down the river. Great stuff!

Acoustics
The Great American Music Hall has probably among the best acoustics for the more psychedelic guitar sounds more reminiscent of their studio recordings than some of the other venues. The guitar produces both sweet clear and gut wrenching feedback sounds. The gutsiest version of No Definite Future, a bombs away Honeybomb, dreamy Pull of the Moon with lots of Hendrix like feedback, thunderous The Whales [are coming and boy are they pissed], and a killer closer Burn which starts Indian Raga, builds to their standard Mermen surf crash crescendo and then finishing with a Pink Floyd Ummagumma era Saucer Full of Secrets type closer. If you only download one Mermen tune, get this, it will melt the walls. The rest ain't bad either, but the long psychedelic experimental stuff works best here. And that's the stuff of theirs I like best. They do take their name, after all, from a Hendrix song - 1983 ... a merman I should turn to be.

The real deal
This folks is the real thing. Sometimes you do not need lyrics to get the mood across, this will be good for some long distance cycling trips where at around a hundred miles things start to get a bit strange.

Surf's Up and It's Melting!
Instrumental surf music with a twist, played with proficiency. The Mermen have a much more polished, cleaner sound in comparison to another band I'm used to listening to, the rougher, more offbeat "Man... or Astroman?" (not hosted here yet BTW).
The onstage mics give you that right-there feeling. I've listened the first time in a high background noise setting and the music punched right through.
This being my first exposure to the Mermen, I can't say how this particular show or recording stacks up against others of theirs, but I will say it is prompting me to check the band out some more!
Later followup: On further listening, I really appreciate how these folks meld the surf sound with the other classic "San Francisco" sound. For a good sampler of how they go about it, get d2t1,2 (The Whales > Curve).
